My father does a lot of incredibly handy things, and most of what he does is done with wood. He has a scroll saw and makes some of the most beautiful and intricate items I've ever seen. Since my husband and I decided to start squirreling away food from our garden, we've found we don't have a good storage container for our potatoes, onions and garlic. I asked my dad if he could make a simple bin with 3 compartments for storing all our taters and such and he said, "Sure, what do you want". I found a design on the internet that was a relatively simple box with a lid..........well, that certainly wasn't going to be what I got, what I ended up with when my dad was done, was a work of art!!!
So without further ado, let me present...........the World's nicest potato bin.......TAAAADDAAAAA!!!

Notice the doors towards the bottom, so we can access our "stuff" after the supply has gotten
towards the bottom of the bin. Keep in mind, this bin stands almost as high as my chest. |

Top view with the lid open, center section for tators, two outer sections for
onions and garlic. Does anyone have any idea how much garlic that would be?
